🇨🇳 China’s biggest tech firms are boosting 2025 bonuses and pay to stop AI talent from leaving.

ByteDance says its 2025 bonus pool is up 35% year over year, and its budget for compensation adjustments is up 150%, while also widening pay floors and ceilings across levels. Under the hood, this is firms paying for scarce people who can build and run LLM training and inference systems, since small teams can bottleneck whole product lines.

Tencent has been recruiting AI staff aggressively, including offers reported as up to 2x existing salaries, and it elevated ex-OpenAI researcher Yao Shunyu to chief AI scientist. Tencent’s reorg also set up AI Infra and data computing teams that focus on distributed training, serving models at scale, and big data plus machine learning pipelines.

Demand looks steep, with Maimai’s index for new AI roles up 543% year over year from January to October 2025. (Maimai is a Chinese professional networking and recruitment platform, so this index is measuring platform job-posting volume)

🍅 Claude is growing a tomato

An unusual experiment: Claude has been running a fully autonomous tomato grow for 37 days inside a controlled biodome.

What Claude can see
• Temperature
• Air & soil humidity
• Atmospheric pressure
• CO₂ levels
• Leaf temperature

What Claude can control
• Lighting
• Soil heating (heating mat)
• Ventilation
• Water supply

Everything is logged in real time. You can watch the plant’s progress and read the experiment log here: https://autoncorp.com/biodome/

Autonomous greenhouses aren’t a concept anymore, they’re quietly becoming operational.

🔥 Stop watching 2-hour YouTube tutorials.

Grok now turns any video into a step-by-step skill plan. Here are 8 prompts that convert videos into mastery:

1. Comprehensive Overview
Prompt:

“I’ve shared a YouTube video. Give me a high-level overview of everything being taught, broken into the main skills, concepts, and phases, as if you’re introducing it to someone seeing it for the first time.”

2. Skill Tree Extraction
Prompt:

“From this video, identify the complete skill tree required to master the topic. Organize it from foundational skills to advanced execution.”

3. Actionable Learning Plan
Prompt:

“Turn this video into a structured learning plan with clear practice steps. Assume I want to go from zero to competent as efficiently as possible.”

4. Core Concepts & Mental Models
Prompt:

“Extract the core concepts and mental models explained in this video. Explain each one simply and show how it’s used in practice.”

5. Practical Application Focus
Prompt:

“Based on this video, list the specific actions I should take to apply what’s being taught in real-world scenarios. Avoid theory and focus on execution.”

6. Knowledge Check & Evaluation
Prompt:

“Create questions or exercises based on this video that test whether someone truly understands the material, not just remembers it.”

7. Workflow & Process Mapping
Prompt:

“Extract any workflows, processes, or step-by-step methods mentioned in this video and reorganize them into the most logical execution order.”

8. Common Mistakes & Pitfalls
Prompt:

“Identify common mistakes beginners make when following the advice in this video and explain how to avoid each one.”

Some really massive numbers achieved by xAI in 2025.

- 450k+ current GPUs across sites, with construction underway to double that by Q2 2026.
- 244,000+ miles of fiber went in
- 15+ miles of cooling-water piping was installed.

Drones that autonomously clean solar panels are an outstanding idea. Energy is already scarce, the biggest bottleneck of the future. Increasingly (especially in China), drones are being used for real-world applications. No show, just genuine work! Brilliant!

Do you think low-effort content has a chance?

There is a YouTube channel built entirely on AI content pulling in $4.25M a year.

Bandar Apna Dost: Indian AI trash about a monkey (and whatever else sticks). It’s annoying. It’s primitive. And it sells.

People watch it. Advertisers pay.
Money doesn’t have taste, especially AI money. So yes, creators of neural memes are absolutely on the right track.

Waiting for people to “get tired of AI content” is like waiting for McDonald’s or KFC to shut down.

Cheap, repetitive, addictive content has always worked, AI just made it scalable.

2026: the year of mega tech IPO

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are lining up potential IPOs as early as this year, with combined valuations that could exceed $1.5 trillion and raise tens of billions of dollars.

Even one listing could eclipse the entire 2025 US IPO market, making this a potential once-in-a-generation payday for investors, banks, and lawyers

📢 OpenAI is preparing to release a new audio model in connection with its upcoming standalone audio device!

OpenAI is aggressively upgrading its audio AI to power a future audio-first personal device, expected in about a year. Internal teams have merged, a new voice model architecture is coming in Q1 2026, and early gains include more natural, emotional speech, faster responses, and real-time interruption handling - key for a companion-style AI that proactively helps users.

Robotics and AI has huge potential in agriculture.

Here a solar-powered Ladybrid robot is doing all of these

- Precision microclimate monitoring
- Wind speed and direction monitoring, rainfall tracking, and leaf moisture management with sensors

❗️More than 21% of YouTube uploads are now classified as low-quality “AI slop,” driven by cheap generative tools and monetization incentives that reward volume over value.

The report highlights how automated content farms are overwhelming the platform, making discovery harder for creators and degrading viewer trust- while moderation struggles to keep pace.

No end in sight, it will probably get even worse, dead internet theory is becoming reality.
